Algebra.Com's Answer #699103 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm guessing 1 is wrong because it's incomplete, you would need to flip the inequality. \n" ); document.write( "2 is incorrect because dividing by -2 doesn't simplify your equation. \n" ); document.write( "3 is incorrect because subtracting 3 from both sides doesn't simplify your equation. \n" ); document.write( "4 is correct because it simplifies the equation. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
